Re: IDS Load Balancer

[<barryab63-ia () yahoo com>]

Load balancing IDS's has a lot of gotcha's that you have to look out for.
 
Sourcefire has an IDS that is rated for GIGE, up to 4 GIG.  
 
I'd definately try to find a solution that didn't include load balancing.  No matter how you do it, you'll end up 
giving up something.

Subject: [Snort-users] IDS Load Balancer

Dear All,

     I'm going to start a project to implement an end to end IDS solution in a data center. My problem is that high 
traffic rate in the data center leads me to use an load balancer to balance the traffic to multiple Snort servers. I'll 
be thankful if you help me to find a proper [including commercial] solution.

Thanks all
